SEMIFORÊT / SINGAPORE

Microcement Floors

Seamless microcement flooring for Singapore homes and selected commercial interiors, combining a continuous mineral appearance with a structured multi-layer application system.

01 / MICROCEMENT FLOORING

One Surface.
A Quieter Space.

Microcement transforms the floor from a repeated pattern into a continuous architectural surface.

Semiforêt flooring is applied as a multi-layer system over a suitable prepared substrate. The finished appearance combines subtle tonal movement, hand-applied texture and a continuous mineral character.

CONTINUOUS LIVING

Less Visual
Interruption.

Without a conventional grid of tile joints, microcement can create a calmer visual transition between living, dining, circulation and selected adjoining spaces.

02 / WHY MICROCEMENT

Material,
Not Pattern.

The visual character comes from the material itself rather than printed repetition. Each finished surface carries subtle variation created during application.

01

Continuous Appearance

A visually uninterrupted floor can create calmer transitions between adjoining residential spaces.

02

Renovation Potential

Stable existing tiled surfaces may sometimes be considered for overlay, subject to substrate inspection and preparation.

03

Mineral Character

Fine tonal movement and controlled trowel texture create depth without relying on conventional decorative patterns.

03 / THE SEMIFORÊT SYSTEM

What Lies
Beneath Matters.

Microcement performance depends on more than the visible finish. Assessment, preparation, layered application and protection form part of the complete flooring system.

01

Substrate Assessment

Existing surface condition, cracks, hollowness and visible movement are reviewed before application.

02

Preparation & Base

Primer, reinforcement where required and base preparation establish the working surface.

03

Decorative Microcement

Controlled decorative layers create the selected tone, movement and surface character.

04

Resistant Layer

An intermediate resistant layer supports the final protection system.

05

Protective Coating

The final protective coating completes the specified surface system before curing and normal use.

04 / PERFORMANCE EVIDENCE

Tested,
Not Assumed.

Selected available third-party laboratory results for Semiforêt microcement. Results relate to tested samples and should be interpreted together with system build-up, substrate, workmanship and curing conditions.

05 / RENOVATION

Can Microcement
Cover Tiles?

In selected projects, yes.

Existing tiles can sometimes form part of a suitable substrate when they remain stable and properly bonded.

Hollow areas, existing cracks, movement and transitions should first be assessed. Where the existing base is unsuitable, remedial work may be required before microcement application.

06 / CURING

The Surface
Needs Time.

72 hrs

Allow at least 72 hours after final coating before normal walking on the completed surface.

7 days

Allow seven days before moving furniture or cleaning the surface with water.

Site

Actual project timing remains subject to site conditions and the applicable Semiforêt method statement.

07 / REAL SINGAPORE FLOOR PROJECTS

From System
to Space.

Completed Semiforêt projects show how microcement flooring behaves at architectural scale across landed homes, HDB interiors and condominiums in Singapore.

01
FEATURED / LANDED RESIDENCE

Surin Avenue
Landed Residence.

Space Grey microcement extends across the principal first-floor interior, allowing living, dining and circulation zones to read as one continuous mineral surface. The project demonstrates the use of microcement flooring at residential architectural scale rather than as a small material sample.

08 / QUESTIONS

Microcement
Flooring FAQ.

Is microcement flooring seamless?

Microcement is applied as a continuous surface and can create a visually seamless appearance without the repeated grid normally associated with tiles. Project-specific architectural or structural joints may still need to be respected.

Is microcement suitable for HDB flooring?

Microcement can be considered for selected HDB renovation projects. Suitability depends on the existing substrate, renovation scope and site conditions.

Can microcement cover existing tiles?

Stable existing tiles may sometimes be suitable for an overlay approach. Tile adhesion, hollow areas, cracks and movement should be assessed before application.

Will microcement crack?

Crack risk is closely related to the underlying substrate, structural movement, preparation, installation and curing. Existing defects should therefore be assessed before application.

How thick is a microcement floor?

Semiforêt microcement applications are generally thin-layer surface systems. Final build-up depends on substrate condition and the specified project system.

How long does microcement flooring take?

Project duration varies according to floor area, substrate preparation and site conditions. The installation itself also requires appropriate curing time before normal use.

How much does microcement flooring cost in Singapore?

Pricing depends on project area, substrate condition, preparation requirements, detailing and overall scope. A floor plan and current site photos allow the team to provide a more useful initial assessment.

Are Semiforêt microcement flooring test reports available?

Yes. Selected third-party laboratory reports covering ball indentation hardness, compressive strength, flexural strength, Mohs hardness and other material evidence are available through the Semiforêt Technical Evidence library.

Experience the
Surface in Person.

Compare Semiforêt microcement colours, textures and finishes in person, or start by describing your flooring project through the contact page. Prepare your floor plan, approximate area, current surface photos, intended room use and preferred finish. Include visible cracks or damaged areas, your intended timing and whether the property will be occupied during the works. Ask the team which channel to use for plans and photos, or arrange a visit to see finishes. An enquiry does not confirm a quotation or start date. For a practical comparison of surface continuity, grout lines, maintenance and project suitability, read our Microcement vs Tiles guide.
